The F scale is based on the actual damage, and if no structural damage is done, it is not rated as a monster. An F5 can strip a well built hose completely off the foundations, and leave nothing but a bare concrete slab. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1680189622.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1680189622.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1680189622.jpg |

The recording tape was 3mm wide and 0.08 mm thick, and traveled at 1.5 meters / second. It was limited to voice programs as it did not have the fidelity to record music. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1680204452.jpg |

They were used in locomotives, boats, and FDNY's Super Pumper fire pump. Three crankshafts, 9 or 18 cylinders depending on model, and the 18 cylinder version was good for over 2000hp for short bursts. I think the continuous rated output was about 1800hp, with a 1000 hour life expectancy between overhauls. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1680218576.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1680218576.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1680218576.jpg YouTube university graduate level plumbing. |

The stone is located in Namibia, Africa. It fell to Earth about 80 thousand years ago, its mass after the fall was 90 tons. The Hoba meteorite, short for Hoba West, is a meteorite that lies on the farm of the same name, not far from Grootfontein, in the Otjozondjupa Region of Namibia. It has been uncovered, but because of its large mass, has never been moved from where it fell. The main mass is estimated at more than 60 tonnes. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1680287040.jpg Raniero Borg was diving off Malta when he encountered a salp.
